Before this PR
TODO comments of the form
// TODO: something
are disallowed, but the rule is case sensitive so// todo: something
doesn't get caught.After this PR
==COMMIT_MSG==
Make TODO checkstyle rule case insensitive
==COMMIT_MSG==
I found 19 results in our product repos that would be blocked by this change based on a simple (incomplete) regex.
An alternative approach would be to leave it case sensitive and add a separate rule that disallows lower-case TODO rules, but that would affect more repos.
